To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ADLnR G. JOHNSON, a citizen of the United States,residing at Fort Scott, in the county of Bourbon and State of Kansas,have invented a new and useful Button, of which the following is aspecification.

The device forming the subject matter of this application is a button,and one object of the invention is to provide a button the constituentmembers of whichare held together in a novel way and assembled in anovel way with the material which carries the button. Another object ofthe invention is to provide a button which, being assembled with the endof a pair of suspenders, will prevent the end of the pair of suspendersfrom turning around the button or twistm It is within the province ofthe disclosure to improve generally and to enhance the utility ofdevicesof that type to which the invention appertains.

With the above and other objects in view, which will appear as thedescription proceeds, the invention resides in the combination andarrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafterdescribed and claimed, it being understood that, within the scope ofwhat is claimed, changes in the precise embodiment of the inventionshown can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.

In the accompanying drawings:-

Figure 1 shows in longitudlnal section,

a button constructed in accordance with the.

invention, assembled with the material which carries the button; Figs. 2and 3 are sections on the line AB of Fig. 1, looking in oppositedirections as indicated by the arrowsg'Fig. l is a section on the line4-4 of Fig. 1; Fig. 5 is a fragmental elevation, showing a suspender endwherewith the device forming the subject matter of this application hasbeen assembled, the button proper being sectioned.

Fig. 6 is a sectional detail showing a modified form of the invention.

The button forming the subject matter of this application may be madeof. metal or any other material which will work readily and have thenecessary rigidity, the button including a base 1 whichmay be ofelongated form, as shown in Fig. 3. The base 1 carries spaced tubularposts 2. A head 3, which may be of circular outline,

issupported 011 the posts 2. The head 3 is supplied with openings 4alined with the bores of the posts. The base 1 is placed upon thegarment 5 or other material, securing devices such as rivets 6 beingextended upwardly through the material, through the. base 1, through thetubular posts 2 and through the openings 4: in the head 3, the rivetshaving enlarged feet 10 which engage the material 5. The rivets aredistorted or buttended as shown at 7, to engage the head 3, and,consequently, the constituent parts of the button are held together, andthe button as an entity, is held on the material 5. The ends 7 of therivets may be housed beneath the cap 8 having a marginal flange 9extended beneath the periphery of the head 3 to hold the cap in place.

Noting Fig. 5, it will be obvious that when the spaced tubular posts 2are mounted in the button hole 12 of the end 11 of a pair of suspenders,the end will be prevented from turning around the button or twisting onthe trousers.

In Fig. 6 of the drawings, a modified form of the invention has beenshown. In that figure, parts hereinbefore described have been designatedby numerals previously used, with the suffix a. In Fig. 6, the securingdevice is made of wire or like material and is bent laterally to form ahead 50 adapted to cooperate with the material spaced tubular posts; ahead supported on the posts; and securing devices passing through theposts and engaging the head, the securing devices being extended beyondthe base to form an attaching means for the button.

2. A button constructed as set forth in claim 1 and furthercharacterized by a cap assembled with the head and housing thehead-engaging ends of the securin devices.

3. A button comprising a base aving a post; a head supported on thepost; a se- In testimony that I claim the foregoing as curing devicepassing through the post and my own, I have hereto affixed my signatureengaging the head, the securing device'bein the presence of twoWitnesses.
